Soszynski expects a ‘whole new fight’ against Bonnar

Polish fighter Krzyzstod Soszynski is expecting a ‘whole new fight’ when he faces Stephan Bonnar at UFC 116.

The two will face off in a rematch at UFC 116 on Saturday, following their controversial fight at UFC 110, that ended in a forced TKO stoppage, following an accidental head butt on Bonnar.

“I think it’s going to be a whole new fight,” Soszynski told MMA Fighting.

“I think we both learned a lot about each other. I think I surprised him with my striking a little bit. I just came forward and was more aggressive than I usually am because I knew he was going to bring his game. I think this time around, it’s going to be a little slower paced, a little more of a chess game.”

“I’m very privileged right now to be a part of four or five training facilities,” Soszynski said. “I go between (Team) Alliance, I have Mark Munoz, I have Dan Henderson and Team Quest, there’s a couple good gyms in Oceanside – so I’m really fortunate enough that I can travel around and train with a whole bunch of great fighters and just learn from them all.”
